Chapter 22: Dalian (4)
A phantom attack is a tactic that confuses the reality and confuses the opponent.
Among them, there is only one reality.
However, Han-eun is a master who makes everything even the illusion of drops feel real.
It is impossible to understand with the naked eye.
What you need to read is the flow of power.
And Jamie had the skill to subdue that flow.
[White Sea]
thud-!
With the sound of heavy footsteps, the flow of mana around him began to focus on Jamie.
flows come together
At the same time, the illusion of flying drops gradually diminished.
Some of the flow is lost.
Han narrowed his eyes.
'What about this technology?'
space is taken over.
Losing space in the battle of the uninhabited effectively means defeat.
Space is an area for uninhabited people to move.
The wider the area, the more techniques and tactics that can be deployed.
Therefore, taking over the space meant that the range of motion of action was reduced.
'It's fun.'
Jamie was rushing in with strange steps.
It was clear that the power to take over the space started from that step.
The illusion of the drops is broken one by one.
They are pushing ahead in the technology battle.
However.
'It's too early.'
He swung the stick once.
The thread fluttered and the bells spread the sound.
Then the disappearing bubble illusion began to multiply like a lie.
[Welcome Ceremony: Thunder]
With Quarara!!
In an instant, thunder roared out loudly.
Not only did the drop illusion increase, but it also sprinted destructively, drawing the shape of lightning.
Jamie hesitated at the sudden change in attack and had to step back.
Even though they have not yet found a gap in the space to break the illusion, they have been pushing it in a more bitter form.
'Chit.'
With his 'dark dagger' clad in black mana, he slashed the illusion of drops in an oblique line and jumped high backwards.
After that, as soon as it landed, Baekhae focused on swordplay.
sting!!
Black mana enveloped the White Sea.
A purple thunderbolt began to stir the flow of space.
The drops reached a short distance.
Jamie opened his eyes and stabbed the dagger in a straight line.
There was a crack in the space.
At the same time, Han jumped high.
He smiled and retrieved the bell.
Then, as it swung like a whip, the thread stretched and fell, aiming at Jamie's head.
But Jamie didn't panic.
"Whoa."
Those who have reached the stage will be determined by who can read the numbers faster.
And Jamie succeeded in predicting Han's next action 10 seconds ago.
[Jamie Expression Transformer]
[White Sea]
He stretched out his arms toward the split space.
He spread the dagger in his hand and grabbed the space.
[Free space]
And he pulled it hard towards the inside of his body.
A space occupied by the White Sea and a space cut with a dagger.
Space is not a property that can be held by hand, but if it is a dagger that cuts through space, it will be able to hold it.
So I grabbed it.
The space occupied by the White Sea was transmitted through fingertips.
So, it could be shaken.
"Get out of the way!!"
Space is not fixed.
Jamie twisted his body to crumble.
The space that begins to increase, as long as it takes a great leap forward, and the drops fall terribly.
They twisted all at once.
Han widened his eyes at the sudden anomaly.
"The space !"
The thread that was rushing towards Jamie while drawing a smooth curve was bent at a deformed angle.
Han is also the same.
He realized that his standing position had changed slightly.
"What kind of monstrous skills do you have?!"
The body is forced to lean.
'Did you induce this situation?'
Han felt his body fall down and retrieved the bell.
And when I swing it to the other side, the space is fine! There was a sound and a shock wave was generated.
The flow created by the shock wave slowed the fall.
At the same time, when I stepped on the air a few times with mana, my speed drastically decreased, and I was able to land smoothly.
However, Han could not be at ease.
Jamie approached, aiming for the head and stabbing the sword.
Karan-!
Han swung the bell without embarrassment.
Although the sword and the bell collided in mid-air, there was no rattling sound.
This is because the high-density mana was condensed into the drops.
Jamie was unable to continue the attack.
It was a weak-looking thread and bell, but it was Han who handled it.
It could be said that I was lucky that I wasn't pushed.
The two fought several times without stopping.
A battle of who looks ahead first.
'Is that good enough?'
Watching, Isis marveled at Jamie's quick adaptation to the water fight.
He was attacking Han's behavior patterns one by one, thinking what the best response would be.
Normal warriors tend to predict the opponent's attack close to their instincts based on the experience they have accumulated in their body.
Calculating actions and thinking of ways to respond would take a long time, and in a fight between powerful players, your neck could be blown away in an instant.
The current way was the way Jamie was able to as a wizard.
'You must have always understood and developed the magic tricks with your head, so the speed of thinking will be different from ours. Besides, if it's a 9th class Archmage... .'
no.
Diablo Volfir, the strongest warlock who was called the natural enemy of the 12 gods.
It would take less than a second to see the number of opponents with both eyes, to think with one's head, and to know what kind of response to take.
So that's fun.
"What kind of power do you want to acquire?"
Jamie will definitely rise to the level of a sword master.
And you will get 'power'.
Usually, powers have to do with a person's characteristics, but Jamie's talents were so numerous that it was not easily predicted.
"But it won't be easy to get your hands on. Even if it's Welton's bloodline."
Isis smiled faintly.
* * *
As Jamie and Han's battle grew longer and longer, onlookers flocked in.
However, the two did not pay attention to their surroundings and bumped into each other until one of them collapsed.
As Jamie shoved the bell and tried to come in, the thread wrapped around his wrist or wrist and threw him to the floor.
On the other hand, if Han wanted a break, Jamie launched a fierce counterattack using the white sea and a dagger.
Clearly, one side had the upper hand.
"If you are tired, you can give up."
"Stunning me. That's it."
"It's awful."
Han clicked his tongue as he saw Jamie rushing to him even though he was sweating profusely.
He wanted to subdue him at once, but as time went on, Jamie's skills were getting better and better.
It is getting stronger by fighting.
Reading the numbers was getting faster and faster, and the response was almost the same as thinking.
'What the hell is this guy?'
As a great wizard who reached class 9, I don't know why he's so obsessed with swords.
He knew he had great talent for swords, but no matter how much he looked at it, he couldn't compare it to magic.
I thought it would be better to practice magic during this time, but Han didn't say anything because he was neither his teacher nor anything.
It just attacked when there was a gap, and defended when an attack came.
"Heh, heh, heh, heh."
"The sun has already risen in the middle of the sky."
a little bit. little bit more.
Jamie looked very tired.
It seemed that both eyes were physically limited.
He did not get tired even after running for hours without a break, but fighting by mixing weapons consumed incomparable stamina to running.
Not only that, unlike when using magic, mana was wasted too much.
'Don't stop doing it.'
No matter how much your skills continue to improve, you will be defeated at this rate.
Rather than that, it is better to inflict a certain defeat and achieve enlightenment.
After making the decision, Han changed his stance.
The atmosphere has changed.
He leaned heavily forward with his upper body, keeping his body almost in a straight line with the ground.
Then, he kicked the ground with all his might.
" ?!"
And a silver long sword appeared in front of him.
In Han's head, three letters came to mind.
Clearly, Jamie had some distance.
But why is his sword lying down here?
The thread was twisted and wrapped around a long sword.
When the bell made a rattling sound, Han pushed the ground to the side once in a while, breaking the direction.
The two passed by and looked into each other's eyes.
Han was shocked.
'This guy .'
eyes are empty
It's not that my stamina has reached its limit and I'm not out of focus.
Jamie Welton has now reached a state of unconsciousness.
The sword flies from a deformed direction.
Han regretted himself for entering Dalian with a light heart.
As he blocked the sword with the stick and at the same time pulled the thread with the index finger of his empty hand, the bell turned in the direction of Jamie's head.
Jamie diddge the bell without difficulty and reached out to him with a hand holding the trick of a dagger.
"ね!"
Even if you don't use Auras and Powers, there is a clear difference in skills between Masters and non-Masters.
But Jamie had fallen into a state of unconsciousness, pushing Han into a corner.
[Welcome]
[Thread knitting]
Han stepped back, set the stick, and, holding only the thread, manipulated the bell to and fro.
But Jamie narrowed the distance, dodging the bubble as if moving without thinking.
Then, they attacked unexpectedly from an unexpected direction.
can't read the number
When the other person fell into the unconscious, the behavior pattern that had been seen before disappeared.
'Is there no other way?'
I didn't want to do it because I didn't want to get seriously hurt, but if I stayed like this, I was going to be seriously hurt.
If he did, he would surely get rid of the other guys.
I just didn't want to die.
"I'm sorry, Jamie Welton."
Han dangled a drop.
I don't know what you're thinking in your subconscious mind.
"It's impossible to block or dodge with your skills right now."
[The Feast of the Leemun Hanga]
The highest season in the family.
Originally, you had to use an auror to fully unfold it, but this is enough to subdue it.
I thought so.
The blade of the knife touched the taut thread.
The seams of a very thin thread began to spring out as if it would break at any moment.
'What .'
It was not a distance that could be narrowed down at once.
But Jamie is standing in front as if leaping through space.
Did you use any magic?
No, that would have made Isis a foul.
If there is no reaction, it means that no magic was used.
'no way .'
A thought flashed through Han's mind.
At that moment, the sword aimed at the head and stabbed in.
It had just been in contact with the thread.
Han instinctively manifested his powers.
It was an instant when the bell stick turned into a dual-wield dagger.
It was small and fast, and it easily struck the sword that was flying towards the face.
Changed the shape to Chidogon.
As it was, he swung his chidogon towards Jamie's head.
"Until there."
Han narrowed his eyes as he looked at Chi Do-gon, who stopped in mid-air.
To be precise, a long, slender woman's hand was holding Chidogon tightly.
"Isis."
Han lands on the floor and turns Chi Do-gon back into a bell stick.
I looked at Jamie, who had fallen to the floor.
It wasn't that he fell because of Han's attack.
The unconscious state ended and he passed out.
Looking at Jamie's condition like that, Han said.
"Isis. The technique this guy just used must be... ."
that's right.
Isis nodded her head.
"It was definitely power."
